I assumed it was a place where they mess up erasing the streetview car. I agree with Alex’s theory.

Dude! If the pics are old then suck it up! Let’s see there’s about… Oh I would say the whole fricken earth and you are complaining that the pics are old!? They can’t take pics of the whole earth every day!! Think about it. Nice how they are nice enough to make it free for you and you complain?! I think they should charge u all who complain about how current it is. They are spending millions on cameras and satalites but u look for free. Suck it up.
